I know the title of the podcast might seems a bit confronting but I believe it's important to understand that there is a lot to unpack when it comes to menopause, weight gain in menopause and overall women's health for longevity. My guest is Carys Sonnenberg, a NHS GP and Women's Health and Menopause Specialist. She is also the Founder of an online resource, Rowena Health, which provides facts and information for women in menopause.

In this episode, we unpack a lot

• We discuss some of the new marketing messages to women in menopause - the use of the words “meno-belly” “meno-weight” “fix your hormones” "rebalance your hormones”
• Her own experience with perimenopause as a doctor - recognising it in others but not in herself.
• What is metabolic syndrome? What is insulin resistance? What is the relationship to menopause?
• How does metabolic syndrome impact on health and  longevity?
• Weight gain vs HRT vs motivation
• The role of oestrogen in cognitive function.
